Title: Building a foamie Extra 300S for a Prjoject
Post by: Divyam on October 31, 2010, 05:30:20 PM

I have to do a Physics projects on any topic of my choice.. Well, combined with my love for anything RC, I have decided that my topic would be Bernoulli's principle..
This way, I get to build a plane as a working model! ;D
My choice for the plane is an Extra 300S foamie because, as I read somewhere, its stable enough for a beginner.. Not starting with a trainer because I have LOTS of sim time..
Now, I have already ordered the foram from Mr. Raj.. Yet to get here..
Gonna get some carbon fibre tubing for support..
Gonna need a good 4-6ch radio.. Any suggestions? :headscratch:
Not decided on power system yet..

Will keep you guys informed! :)

There is a futaba on sale for 4k. Its a good deal. I didnt have the budget so i went in for hobbyhing 6ch from praveen for Rs 2800.
Go in for 2.4ghz as in the future it will be harder to source FM recievers.

What is your budget?

Yeah as Rajath said depends on your budget. Also sourcing from outside will be an issue.
Good to look at LHS.
You can match your budget with RCD / Sai / Praveen.

Also wouldnt it be easier to collect it from Raju. Where do you stay ?
Do share your Extra 300 plan.

All the best.

Can anyone tell me what a good motor/prop combo is good for a plane that weighs about 350g?
